Over the past decade, Beecher has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority." However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards becoming a "Transitional Community". The white population has decreased from 92% in 2019 to 83% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 6% in 2019 to 12% in 2022. There have been small increases in Asian, Black, and multiracial populations, collectively rising from 2% to 4% between 2019 and 2022.

The median household income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $78,056 in 2013 to $84,056 in 2022, with some fluctuations. There was steady growth from 2013 to 2019, peaking at $89,472 in 2021, followed by a slight decrease in 2022. The population has remained relatively stable, growing slightly from 7,750 in 2013 to 7,774 in 2022. This stability, combined with rising incomes, suggests a community that has maintained its economic base while slowly diversifying.

The gradual increase in diversity in Beecher aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The pace of change is slower than in many other suburban communities across the United States. The consistent rise in median income over the past decade outpaces national averages. The growing Hispanic population mirrors trends seen in many Midwestern communities, where Latino populations have been increasing in both urban and suburban areas.
